Bach to Beethoven

Tue 27 Nov 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

British violinist-turned-conductor Andrew Manze is one of the stars of the period-instrument movement, acclaimed internationally for his original and dynamic interpretations of a wide range of music. For his CBSO debut he has chosen to perform, and to introduce from the stage, Beethoven’s delightfully witty Eighth, one of the few later works in which the composer seems entirely untroubled by his difficult life. Another leading British artist, Michael Chance, joins the Orchestra for one of Bach’s greatest solo cantatas, while the concert opens in extrovert style with Bach’s joyous Suite – the original home of the Air on a G String.

£39, £36.50, £31.50, £27.50, £23, £20, £16.50, £13, £9.50
